Chapter 53: The Fall of Frostwolf Town
The silver moon slanted to the west, shining on the large bloodstains between the gaps in the forest. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Mark's whole body sweats finely, which is not only caused by the heat of battle, but also caused by tension. He urged the core of his body and kept releasing various techniques, but with little effect.
If you're dealing with a human knight, Mark's spells can inflict heavy damage, if not killing. And the pain caused by the injury is enough to weaken most of the combat power of the human race.
But these skeletons are different! Not only are they painless, but their bones are surprisingly strong. Without completely destroying their skulls, they will not be completely incapacitated.
Slashing with the sword he picked up, Mark scanned his surroundings distractedly. Die or flee, only his colleague Lev is left in the field of vision. And there are at least thirty or fifty skeletons that take turns to attack.
Mark is feeling more and more tired. He was completely desperate and couldn't help shouting: "Lev, I can't do it!
Lev swung his sword in his right hand, and his left hand sometimes glowed with fire. He struggled to break through the skeleton's barrier and made his way towards Mark: "Let's go! I'm here to save you!"
Mark smiled wryly. He really didn't want to be a martyr. However, for some reason, most of the figures around them were killed or injured, and most of the skeletons locked onto themselves. Even if Lev suddenly appeared later, the skeletons were not targeted.
Since he was going to die, Mark had to think about the heirs of the family. Instead of having Lev accompany him to the funeral, let him bring the news back to the temple. In this way, his family can be treated more or less.
"No," Mark slowed, hurting one after the other, "get out of here!" and bring the news back to the temple. Someone has to ......"
In order to prevent Lev from going too far into the encirclement, Mark deliberately relaxed his resistance. Several skeletons seized the opportunity and swooped out their swords one after another, stabbing Mark to death.
"Mark!" Lev cried out in grief. Despite his usual discord with Mark, seeing him killed by aliens still saddened Lev's death. Lev couldn't help but collect his feelings, turned and fled.
A grief-stricken Lev didn't notice that many of the skeletons had retreated slightly to allow him to get out of the way.
Lev has not gone far, and most of the remaining skeletons are in action. The badly injured remained in place to collect the loot, while those who still survived followed Lev's figure and headed for Frostwolf Town.
As for Du Shen, he was about a hundred meters away, and he was also rushing towards Frostwolf Town.
After all, Lev is an elemental envoy of the accumulation of years. He far surpassed Du Shen and arrived in the town early to report the news.
By the time Du Shen rushed to the north gate of the town, the wooden gate had been tightly closed. Fortunately, there are many apprentices like Du Shen who don't know the news. They originally scattered to kill wolves, but they learned from the fugitives that there were sorcerers slaughtering their classmates. With half-belief in their hearts, coupled with their low strength, they were inevitably slow to act, so they were locked out of the gate.
Du Shen joined the shouting and wanted to step forward and knock on the door: "Open the door, let us in." There are no enemies out there!"
Before he could approach the crude wooden door, it was slowly opening. Robin and more than a dozen other elemental envoys stood at the door. They either shouted loud comfort, or silently glanced at the crowd, their expressions grim.
Robin gave an order to Du Shen and the others who entered the door: "You follow Teacher Lev's orders and help defend Frostwolf Town." I and the other teachers went out to rescue the lost apprentices and try to destroy the enemy. ”
Du Shen watched Robin and the others leave and followed Lev's instructions. He and the others split into two groups. A group scattered to gather the middle-aged men in the town, and the other went to the south gate to urge the nobles to send attendants to assist in the defense.
The villagers in the town were actually awakened by the alarm bells. And most people are more or less aware of the state of affairs. It's just that after many years of comfort, some townspeople are timid, and some townspeople run around without a head. The town has been slow to organize an effective defense.
Du Shen followed the crowd while shouting and urging, and at the same time went south, bumping into several groups of people along the way. Although there are many militiamen, there are basically no armor and weapons in their hands.
Du Shen thought about it and understood: Frost Wolf Town is not far from Green City, and there is a temple in the town, so there is no danger of banditry. There have been no beasts in the vicinity for many years, and the militia in the town is inevitably unprepared.
Seeing this, Du Shen couldn't help but think again. With the improvement of spiritual power, the range of Nai He Zhu's collection of Force has expanded to about 550 meters. When I killed Pori and others before, I gained a lot. Now in a small town, although the townspeople have low attributes, they are better than the people. Du Shen has traveled all the way, and he is about to collect his energy.
Du Shen gave up his intention to attack and secretly ordered the skeleton brigade to go around the south gate of the town.
At the south gate of the town, thirty or forty aristocratic apprentices crowded near the door. Some of them escaped by chance, and some of them never left the town at all. The aristocrats were noisy and rude to the teacher who blocked the door. They mostly ask the teacher to open the door, and they want to leave.
The nobles still have an equal number of servants by their side. The attendants were urged by their master to act, but they were torn by the prestige of the temple.
Du Shen walked to the edge of the crowd and soon spotted Ryan and Martina. Together with a few civilian apprentices, they stood beside the teacher and worked together to persuade the excited aristocratic classmates.
"Flee without a fight. How can this work?" Du Shen turned sideways and looked to the north. In the open space as far as the eye could see, the figures of 19 skeletons instantly appeared. The skeletons were scattered and slowly walked towards the crowd.
For a long time, the noisy crowd failed to spot the skeleton behind them. Du Shen reluctantly reminded loudly: "Skeletons, it's skeletons! There are skeletons in the town! Could it be that the north gate has been breached?"
Despite shouting as best he could, Du Shen still failed to attract everyone's attention instantly. But the figures near him heard and saw his pointing. As a result, fear spread rapidly from Du Shen's side.
Quite a few people screamed. Some people shouted in fright: "The north gate has been breached!
The scene is like stir-fried beans. The nobles and servants could no longer care about the prestige of the Temple. They shoved and bypassed Martina and the others, struggling to pull the door open. The nobles and servants rushed to the camp in a panic. The civilian apprentices, who were originally blocking people, hesitated a little and joined one after another.
The chaos of nearly 100 people, the element of blocking the door, made it impossible to stop it. He sighed and instructed Martina to save their lives, and he rushed to the skeleton that slowly drove away the crowd.
The nobles and servants had not yet approached the horses and chariots in the camp, and turned around with a scream. Because there were skeletons coming out of the camp, one after the other, with no end in sight.
Someone stood still, and the six gods had no owner: "What should I do? What should I do? There are monsters in the camp too!"
"There are skeletons out there too. Flee!" some people turned and rushed back to the town, while others turned sideways and rushed towards the mountains and forests.
The skeletons quickly dispersed, chasing each apprentice individually.
The sun is high in the dome, and Greentown is as lively as ever. The citizens went about their business calmly, until several of the city's bells rang almost simultaneously.
Many people stopped their movements and turned to look in the direction of the bell tower. Everyone was curious, but didn't care too much. Although the city's bells rarely ring, except for major celebrations or urgent military situations. But even if the bell was a warning, what was there to worry about when the temple lords were in the city?
Not long after, someone heard the sound of hurried running and even horses' hooves outside the house. There are a lot of them. Someone walked to the window, or saw the cavalry galloping away, or saw a large group of soldiers trotting forward. Either way, it's all heavily armed and has a serious look.
At this point, everyone became uneasy. People are going out of their homes to ask people they know well. Most people are equally baffled, but there are also those who know the inside and have a sneaky explanation: it seems that something has happened to the temple assessment! Frostwolf Town was attacked by skeletal monsters, suffering heavy casualties and bleeding.
Hearing this explanation for the first time, almost all citizens scoffed. How could it be that the wizard attacked Frostwolf Town? How close is Frostwolf Town to Green City? For the Temple, that's the doorstep. What wizard is so daring? Besides, do they have the ability?
However, there are quite a few people who spread similar news, and each of them is conclusive. What is even more disturbing is that it has been confirmed with their own eyes that since noon, several groups of cavalry and foot soldiers have left the city to the north, and among them are the figures of the elemental envoys.
What's more, some people say that they have seen several groups of elemental envoys hurrying out of the city. There are not many of them, but there are several batches of them in groups.
By the end of the evening, no one had doubted the rumors. Because the city guards not only closed the four gates early, but also patrolled everywhere to announce a curfew. People hid in their homes, anxious, and sometimes went to the window and peeked at the figures walking by the door.
On this night, it was as if there were heavy dark clouds that covered the whole city. The rainstorm is coming, and the wind is whirling.
